    Is the Capristo fitted in the photos?

    Your tyres are Corsa "System", not Corsa.

    What wheels are they?

    ENJOY!!

    yes lowered more at rear.
    car was a bit nose heavy and i still wanted some clearance around town.

    and correct - i cant help myself. will probably bring it tmw morning to sfr
    yep - capristo is on (after a lot of hassle and a replacement capristo)

    perhaps some mods to the front springs are in order? i recall you being annoyed at front-scraping on moderate braking as it seems a bit soft.

    seems fine at the moment

    decreasing the shock travel shouldn't make it stiffer , just less travel for the shock but the same outcome , is that correct master ff

    Lowering it slightly softens the ride, (on a road car with heavily preloaded springs), and the consequential increased droop travel makes it more compliant on uneven surfaces.

    BUT, the lowered centre of gravity, and increased camber gain gives the impression of being firmer, due to less body roll.

    Bump travel is reduced of course, so you will feel the bump stops earlier, but the shocks are not well calibrated to work with these, so damping will go out the window.. meaning less grip under heavy braking/cornering.

    The squat (good thing) and dive (bad thing) will increase too.

    Much more advisable to fit stiffer springs when lowering.

    Does the 430 have titanium springs like 360CS???? I doubt it, but don't know.
